Assessment

	Description	Qualification
Assignments	• A search work to be carried out in small groups of students, tutored by the professor. This includes the translation of a scientific article and the creation of a summary of it presented in written form. • Knowledge and understanding of the subject	15
Laboratory practicals	• Practical work in laboratory • Continuous-formative evaluation: With the objective of assessing and guiding the process of acquiring skills throughout the semester. Different techniques will be used such as problem and case resolution; carrying out individual and/or group work; presentation of reports on work, laboratory practices. • The work will analyze: -Structure -Documentation quality -Originality -Spelling and presentation	7.5
Problem solving, classroom exercises	• Delivery of problems and other work related to practical cases that require the development of complex calculations associated with the topics studied in the master sessions. • These works will be done individually and will be supervised by the teacher. The student's attention and ability to analyze will be valued in the work. The ability to reason.	7.5
Mixed tests	• A written exam with questions that require a complete development of the topics to be evaluated. • The exam will assess the student's ability to solve problems. • A minimum grade of 5.0 is required in the written exam to take into account the grade of laboratory practical work and assignments in the final grade of the subject. • It is mandatory to take a practical exam for those students who have not completed the laboratory practical work. The date of this examination is prior to the date prior the final written exam.	70
